Your Majesty rule the universe

The annual congressional debate in the fall is the most important day for the military and the government.

During the congressional debate, members of Congress, the Integrity Committee, the Budget Committee, and the Office of the Secretary of State will take turns to conduct three-day questioning sessions with the military and the government respectively.

During the debate, the military and the government will be required to summarize the work of the past year, respond to all disputes over the past year, investigate the integrity of the high-level officials of both parties, and review the budget applications submitted to Congress by various departments and bases of the two parties.

It can be said that all budgets and promotion schedules for the next year or even one term will be basically determined during this period.

High-ranking military officers in formal military uniforms with medals on their chests arrived at the Capitol one after another.

When they saw the reporters and the media surrounding the building with long guns and short cannons, these high-level executives who were usually unsmiling and aggressive put on gentle and friendly smiles, smiled and waved, passed through the group of reporters under the guard of their subordinates, and walked away. Enter the gate of the Parliament building.

"What's going on? Why are there so many reporters this year? Didn't certain TV stations and media be allowed in in previous years?"

Out of sight of the crowd, a major general complained to his subordinates.

"Oh! Ander my brother."

Before his subordinate could explain, a lieutenant general walked towards the major general among the many people waiting in the hall.

Wherever the lieutenant general passed, even though the crowd was crowded, they still quickly parted ways, and the people around them backed away respectfully.

The lieutenant general patted the major general on the shoulder with a smile: "I allowed it. Today is a great day for us. The whole New York City is calling for us to uphold justice for the citizens. Since we are the embodiment of justice, how can we Can we let the citizens down at this time? Of course, we must stand upright in front of the camera and let the citizens see our loyalty to the country!"

"Besides, both the public opinion and members of Congress are in our favor. Since we want to win, we must win for everyone to see."

The lieutenant general lowered his voice, and asked while he was close to the major general: "The member of Congress of the state where your military base is located, is there no problem? If something goes wrong, I want you to look good."

The major general looked serious, and saluted the lieutenant general: "Please rest assured, sir, the country is loyal!"

The two looked at each other and exchanged information. The lieutenant general turned around with satisfaction and walked over to greet another high-ranking officer.

Whether it is the military or the government, all high-level personnel know that the lieutenant general is almost certain to be promoted after this congressional debate.

At that time, with the qualifications and energy of this lieutenant general, a competition for the position of the next top military general will be launched.

So no matter which party or faction they belonged to, everyone bowed their heads respectfully to the general.

But in the peaceful atmosphere, only the major and lady standing on the edge frowned, feeling more and more uneasy.

She turned to the adjutant next to her and asked, "Why didn't I see today's NY Times? Bring it here."

The adjutant looked embarrassed: "Major, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office called in the early morning, saying that the printing factory had an emergency shutdown due to a power outage in the suburbs in the early morning, and the printing could not be carried out. The printing plant with a huge printing volume required by the NY Times, so today’s publication time will be delayed. They have posted a notice on the official website and are trying to solve it.”

The major's eyelids twitched, and she asked sharply, "Why didn't you report it to me sooner! When did it happen, and how far has it been resolved?"

The adjutant lowered his head in trepidation: "I'm sorry, Madam Major, because you have been talking with members of various committees on the phone since last night, I figured out the priorities on my own, and mistakenly thought that it was compared with today's debate preparations. It's not important. I'm going now..."

"What are you doing standing there, the debate is about to start, come here." The lieutenant general's call came from not far away.

Madam Major immediately raised her hand to salute solemnly, and only had time to grab the adjutant and said: "Go and solve it for me immediately, and deliver it to all citizens as quickly as possible. Do you hear me? No matter what I am doing after getting the newspaper, give it to me." send over."

"Yes! I'm sorry, Madam Major."

But Madam Major's concerns were not allayed by the timely detection of a possible loophole.

On the contrary, as she followed the lieutenant general into the large debate conference room, this feeling of uneasiness became more and more serious.

For a week-long period, Madam Major didn't put all her energy into her plans for public opinion against the Avengers.

It should be said that from earlier, before the alien invasion, Madam Major, as a direct member of the lieutenant general's faction, was secretly working as a member of Congress and members of various committees.

After the military headquarters building was attacked by an unknown organization's assassins and aliens invaded, the prestige of the military almost dropped to freezing point, and the congressmen and committee members who were still hesitating immediately rejected the major.

When Ms. Major reviewed the entire status quo, she found that if this trend continues, the military will undoubtedly lose in the congressional debate.

And it will be the worst defeat since the Great War, and it is very likely that it will lose all its advantages and budget in the next term, and be severely suppressed by the government.

Madam Major will not allow this to happen.

She is by no means one to sit still.

After a few days of sleepless thinking, the major lady, who was born in the intelligence department and has been engaged in public opinion work for decades, made a bold decision.

——Steal the sky and change the day.

Transferring the point of conflict from the military to the Avengers, the merits and demerits are reversed, and the military is packaged as a patriot who works hard for the country and the people.

The Avengers' popularity is at an all-time high following the events of the alien invasion, but the Madam Major sees crumbling danger amidst the blossoming flowers.

'The more heroic he is, the more the people demand that he be a perfect saint. Even if he can pull shit, it will affect his great image in the hearts of the people. '

When reporting her plan to the lieutenant general, Madam Major said: "The people don't believe in beauty, and they prefer to believe in darkness—even if it's artificially fabricated—than sunshine. '

The facts are indeed as Madam Major said, the countermeasures against public opinion went smoothly.

When all the remarks were turned upside down and beneficial to the military, the councilors and committee members who had previously rejected Madam Major euphemistically conveyed their attitude of agreeing to the transaction to Madam Major.

So far, more than half of the members of Congress who are determined to participate in this congressional debate have made it clear that they will support the military.

No matter what issues come up in congressional debates, the military is already invincible.

Now, however, on the way to the big debate room, Madam Major saw one strange face after another.

Obviously, the emblem of the Congress is pinned to the lapel, and the identity plate on the chest indicates that they will participate in this congressional debate, but Madam Major, she has never seen their names in any draft list of members of the congressional debate before. .

Even if they occasionally saw a few familiar faces, they had expressed their support before, but when the major and the lady cast their eyes secretly at them, they immediately turned their faces away and walked away quickly, some even pretended to be embarrassing. He coughed a few times, or waved his hand to Madam Major secretly.

Just when the major lady was in doubt, she suddenly saw a team of staff entering the meeting room with a huge and sophisticated video machine.

"What's going on? The state of the country question and answer on the first day of the congressional debate is not allowed to record or take photos, and only reporters are allowed to enter the transcript. Don't you know?" Madam Major stepped forward with a frown.

However, the staff replied frankly: "It means the White Palace."

"It is said that this year is an eventful year. The congressional debate happened just after the alien invasion. Since the military has protected the country, and the military and government have integrated honor and disgrace, the people of the whole country should see the bravery and fearlessness of the people who protected the entire country, so we decided to hold a live broadcast. Live. The congressional debate team has also agreed."

"What..." Madam Major was stunned.

"I have long admired your name, Madam Major."

Behind the staff, a capable but too thin lady came over, smirking and reaching out to the major lady: "I am Morgana Peale, the secretary of the White House President's Office, responsible for the smooth progress of this live broadcast."

Madam Major glanced at her coldly, but did not hold the hand.

Morgana was not embarrassed, she retracted her hand generously, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, I will definitely carry out the instructions of the White House to restore the confidence and security of the country through the live broadcast of this congressional debate. "

But that smile was clearly malicious.

Madam Major didn't have time to think about anything else, she walked quickly towards the lieutenant general who was talking to the top military general.

"Sir, the situation may change this time. Please answer the question carefully." The major lady bowed and whispered in the lieutenant general's ear: "The person in charge of this congressional debate has changed."

The lieutenant general was surprised.

However, it was too late to confirm.

Nine bells struck.

As usual, the congressional debate officially begins.

On the chairman's seat, members of Congress, dressed in official congressman's robes, filed in with serious faces.

The chairman struck the hammer of justice in his hand, and the state of the country question and answer, which is the highlight of the congressional debate, opened.

"Your Excellency the Supreme General, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General, first of all allow me, on behalf of all members of Congress and all citizens, to pay high tribute to the soldiers who protected the country during the alien invasion."

The majestic chairman stood up and took off his hat, facing the direction of the lieutenant general, and bowed deeply in front of the live broadcast camera.

But before the lieutenant general showed a confident smile and got up to say something beautiful, the chairman straightened up and looked at the top military general seriously.

"In this national question and answer, there are only three questions that need to be answered by the military—"

"First: What deployment did the military make during the entire process of the alien invasion?"

"Second: In the event of alien invasion, why did the military dispatch all fighter planes from all military bases near New York and carry all the highest combat-level automatic guided missiles, and all of them lost their lives."

"Third: After the alien invasion, whether the military incited the citizens of New York to initiate actions intended to divide the country."

The audience was silent.

The chairman's old voice was absolutely oppressive, but the question he asked was beyond everyone's expectations.

The top military general glanced coldly at the lieutenant general sitting beside him.

The lieutenant general who was caught off guard was shocked on the spot.

……

White House, Office of the President.

Standing in front of the screen with one hand in his pocket, the tall and elegant man looked at the lieutenant general's funny expression recorded by the live broadcast when he failed in management for a while, and sneered.

"Obviously just a jumping clown, but he thinks he can take a position that doesn't belong to him."

The man turned around and took a cup of hot coffee from the tea break table, and walked towards the sofa in the empty office. He bent down and put the coffee in front of the only customer.

The bone china coffee cup makes a slight sound when it collides with the coffee table.

The young man who was sitting comfortably on the sofa raised his crow-feather eyelashes, and his light golden eyes looked towards the screen with a hint of a smile with a hint of a smile.

"However, that guy can't be defeated by this alone. Even if I don't want to admit it, he has been rooted in the military for decades, and his roots are intertwined. He is not an existence that can be defeated by a few problems."

The man straightened up, with a half-smile: "You need to know that no matter what happens, I will not take action. No matter what happens to you in the end, you can only save yourself."

"It would be a great help if you can acquiesce in doing those things, and the whole White Palace can't see it. If it wasn't for Morgana, you wouldn't even be able to enter the door of this office. Boy, I will Help you, I appreciate you, don't let me down."

Ying Zheng was indifferent to the unspecified threat from the president. He just put his face on his hands and watched the top military generals and lieutenant generals on the screen vehemently argue.

"He wants to take the gold bricks from my palace, and he wants to stain my name with dirty water."

"Then I'll burn down his house and hang him on the gallows forever—that's the way to deal with slanderers and thieves, isn't it?"
